Different Types of Waves in Physics With Examples
Waves transport energy without transporting matter. The energy transportation is carried by a disturbance, which spreads out from a source. Basically, there are three types of waves. Mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and matter waves. Transverse waves and Mechanical waves are…

Simple pendulum formula and time period equation
A simple pendulum also exhibits SHM. It consists of a small bob of mass ‘m’ suspended from a light string of length ‘L’ fixed at its upper end. In the equilibrium position O, the net force on the bob is…

Ultrasound frequency range
What is ultrasonics? The study and application of mechanical vibrations with frequencies beyond the limits of hearing of the human ear i.e, with frequencies about 20 kHz and upwards. There is no theoretical upper limit to the ultrasonic frequency, although…

Transverse and Longitudinal waves Examples and Differences
Transverse waves and longitudinal waves are types of mechanical waves. The basic difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is that in transverse waves particles of waves move perpendicular in the direction of the wave while in longitudinal waves particles move…
